    …or are we just over stressing our customs folks with a supposed record travel week?​

    Sounds like the typical security theatre reaction. Hit the knee with a rubber hammer and the left arm reflexes. Unless there is a threat of taking down airplanes with airborne cars driven by fast and furious dunderheads that I don't know about.

      Which, from the little I could see, looks more like a reckless accident (someone speeding that lost control of the car and crashed against "stuff" at extremely high speed) that a terrorist attack.

      Slow motion video of the car approaching the Rainbow Bridge before it crashed and exploded.The vehicle was speeding from Niagara Falls, New York, toward the ...

      Looped video of the moment a vehicle exploded at the US-Canada Rainbow Bridge border crossing was captured by surveillance camera.

        I don't see how it could be accidental if he kept doing it over and over again.

          Maybe you are right. Maybe it was intentional (a murdercide).
          It seems that the couple was going to a Kiss concert in Canada which got cancelled so they went to a casino. This may or may not be true or relevant.
          But I can imagine a man that planned to go to a concert, got cancelled, went instead to a casino, got more than a few drinks, lost a lot of money, and then is fighting with his wife in the car while she is screaming because how idiot and son of a bitch he is for gabling the family's savings, saying "I've had enough".

            We should wait for the final report. But "Kiss concert" sort of solved it for me.

              Buffalo Niagara International Airport has reopened to arriving international flights and departures following a car explosion that occurred at the US-Canada border in Niagara Falls on Wednesday, according to the US Department of Transportation.

              It had been closed earlier in the afternoon as officials investigated the cause of the blast.

              The incident occurred shortly before 12pm. Authorities say that the vehicle had attempted to cross the US border into Canada using Rainbow Bridge. When a border patrol officer directed the car into a secondary lane for searching, it sped up, went airborne over an 8-foot fence, crashed, caught on fire and then exploded.

              Two individuals who were inside the car died. One border patrol officer was injured, but transported to a nearby hospital and then released.

              The driver was from western New York. Officials have not released identifying information for the driver or passenger. There’s no indictation that the vehicle had explosives inside.​

              Sad for the occupants, green lights again for the airport.
